Sinopsis

Extreme Weather Forecasting reviews current knowledge about extreme weather events, including key elements and less well-known variables to accurately forecast them. The book covers multiple temporal scales as well as components of current weather forecasting systems. Sections cover case studies on successful forecasting as well as the impacts of extreme weather predictability, presenting a comprehensive and model agnostic review of best practices for atmospheric scientists and others who utilize extreme weather forecasts.

  • Reviews recent developments in numerical prediction for better forecasting of extreme weather events
  • Covers causes and mechanisms of high impact extreme events and how to account for these variables when forecasting
  • Includes numerous case studies on successful forecasting, outlining why they worked
